Look I am trying to figure out your position on debt and repayment. You don't have to fly off the handle if you find the question uncomfortable.

As for student debt I think is should be negotiable taking its real world value and the actual money income expected in the field should be part of that consideration. In addition to that repayment should be based upon a percentage of actual income, and it should have a set lifespan after which it can be discharged.

Because they had a 18 yr old gamble on the future and promoted their ability to prepare them for it when they took the bet.

So let's get down to the nuts and bolts of this. Do you believe the individuals who take out a student loan, should be responsible for paying back the money that was lent to them? Yes or No? No need for bullsh*t. You either believe they owe the money or not.

I think my statement makes it clear they should pay back their loans. I included my position on HOW those loans should be repaid until a certain point after which the full amount should no longer be due. and that discharge contingent should most certainly be based upon whether the non interest portion of loan has been repaid.

But how is the question I now the question on the table. Most of the current student loan debt is essentially owe to the federal govt. It is basically (as I described earlier as) a human infrastructure debt being paid off at interest by select that group of taxpayers.

Most of us here over our lifetimes have collectively accrued 90% of the $23 trillion in debt added to the govt. balance sheet . Yet nobody is asking us to pay back that loan. If fact they keep coming up with reasons to borrow even more through tax cuts. Do you support addition loan repayment above regular taxiation to pay off that loan ?

I support that they pay whatever is negotiated in the contract they signed to repay their student loans. The education they receive should be paid for. I believe in general College is too expensive, but that does not negate that you pay what you owe. Personal responsibility for one's own debt.

I did answer your question, you just don't like my answer. I support them paying off their personal student debt as stated in the legally binding contract they signed. They "gained" something from their student loan. I fully expect my daughter to pay off her student loan, as she was taught the importance of understanding personal debt, and that her choices would entail certain consequences.

No you are simply ignoring my question, not answering it, and then saying that you have when you have not.

I already know about your feeling about your daughter's debt to the federal govt. when it backed her loan. But that is only small $1 trillion of what is owed and backed by the federal govt in regards to money borrowed.

No, its not incongrous, because I am not advocating for an idealogy, I am advocating for my self-interests. Just like everyone else. Your typical boomer's self-interests are raising Social Security payouts, funding cuts for higher education so they can fund tax cuts. And literally everyone says "tax everyone else but me, bro"
